Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Powder

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

Waldorf Astoria Park City is home to Powder, a cozy restaurant at the base of Park City Mountain Resort at the Canyons Village base area. The hotel and restaurant are nested in the Wasatch Mountains in a ski and snowboard resort drawing visitors with over 4,000 acres of trails. The luxury Park City restaurant caters to guests of the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel as well as skiers just off the hill for breakfast, lunch, dinner and après-ski bites. Powder’s warm atmosphere is a welcome respite from the snow, with rich brown décor. In good weather, grab a table on the outdoor terrace.

•The Forbes Travel Guide Recommended restaurant is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and stays open until 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

•Sit underneath the hand-carved antlers on the wall and enjoy hearty fare such as pan-seared Alaskan halibut with Yukon potato rosti and chorizo or cherry-wood-smoked short rib. But be sure to glance up from your dish to appreciate the view; the Park City restaurant's windows look out over the pool area and the mountain.

•Depending when you stop in, you might also be able to snag a table without a reservation. Breakfast and lunch are less busy for the luxury Park City restaurant, so feel free to drop by. In the busy winter ski season, however, we recommend making a reservation for dinner, as Waldorf Astoria Park City fills up and hungry skiers snap up time slots.

•The dishes on Powder's menu are inspired by chef Michael Zachman's gastronomic adventures exploring the food markets in London to the Tokyo Tsukiji fish market.
